Groups with The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson

What are you reading? 3462 books / 8770 members / 26645 posts This group is for anyone, of any background or age group, who is interested in talking about...Books. Books you want to read, have read, are reading; books you have heard of and not yet read; books of any genre. You are welcome to ask for recommendations or opinions.

If you are plugging your new book, blog, group, etc., please only do this in the Shameless Self Promotion thread. If these are posted anywhere else, they will be deleted.

Audible Books to recommend 542 books / 273 members / 1200 posts I thought it would be nice to have a list of books that people have read that are on audible (downloads from Audible.com & library CDs are my choices). I've created quite a wish list, making sure that it is listing books that can be listened to -- otherwise, no point in thinking about it. We are so lucky to have such an incredible selection of books to listen to now -- it's a whole new world and just in 5 years! I used to read 3 books a year if I was lucky -- now it's more like 30 books now that I can listen -- I love it!!

When members write down the books they have read -- give at lease a two word critique, even if as simple as the star system -- it's more helpful to see that than the list of books one plans to read. Also, mentioning the book name in Comments allows the reader to see what you are referring to when reading from iPhone!

Book Chat 1084 books / 1414 members / 8159 posts Welcome to Book Chat!

Instead of being about a particular book, author or genre this group is about books and reading in general. Discussions have covered a wide variety of topics, from bookmarks, to book type preference (paperback, hardcover or trade paperback) to book-to-movie tie-ins, to where and when you read and even what started you reading.

We also have some fun new projects starting and we hope you will join us.

Tenia has started a Secret Reader (aka Secret Santa) where we will exchange gently used books.

Tenia has also started a monthly book read. Our first group read will start in January and we are currently taking votes on several books that were nominated for the fiction genre.

We are also currently taking nominations for books for February and March. Our February read will be horror and our March read will be chick lit.

A discussion book raffle of sorts will be starting very soon so be sure to check back for details.

Feel free to pop-in and have a look around. We would love to have you join us for some discussion and fun.

Your admins...Kelly and Tenia

So grab a book, settle in, and let off some steam if you need to...we mommies are here to listen!

While we appreciate that many of our members are authors, please do not post book promotions to our group. I will remove them as I do not want anyone to feel pressured to buy anything or be bothered by numerous spams in the discussion list. Thank you for understanding.

Audiobook Listeners 183 books / 110 members / 217 posts An excellent audiobook helps pass the time (and maybe save your sanity!) during a long road trip or workout or just keep you entertained while working on a project.

Feel free to post your favorites to the Group Shelf. The criteria is simply that you feel the audio presentation enhanced your enjoyment of the book more so than if you had read it. Recommendations for children, teens and adults are welcome!

Women of Lore 803 books / 630 members / 20195 posts This group is for women who want to have a laid back good time, and to enjoy each others company and conversations.

It's kinda like a, girls night out.

Fresh from the Press: 2008 47 books / 5 members / 6 posts This club is solely for a project by the Brilliant Babes and Dudes. We're only covering books published in 2008; anybody is welcome to join and discuss books that were published in 2008.

I've been adding to the shelf by browsing books published in 2008 and putting up anything that looks interesting; if anything looks interesting to you, by all means, read it and give a review! If I missed a book from 2008 that you liked, do add it to the shelf; if you didn't like a book, please tell us that, too!

Kindle Owners 104 books / 218 members / 837 posts I think the name is self explanatory. I purchased a kindle about a month ago and would love to meet others who also have one and see what everyone's reading on their kindle.

Bibliophile Reading Group 48 books / 519 members / 8330 posts Do you buy more books than you could possibly read in a year? Belong to one or more book clubs? Scan the cereal box during breakfast just because you can't stop reading? Did you think Mr. Darcy was hot *before* you saw the movie version of Pride and Prejudice? Then you might be a bibliophile.

This list is for people who love to read books in all genres. Each month, we will suggest, read and discuss several books as a group! Don't worry if you're not a fast reader, like me, because participation is optional.

All book-related questions and discussions are welcome! Well, non-book-related too! After all, we're here to make friends! So, if you want to recommend a book (please, no spamming), find out if someone else recommends it or have a question about something you're reading, this is the place to be.

Welcome and Happy Reading!
